➤ Submitting an Appeal:

When completing your application, please refer to the following guidelines:

  • Clearly express what you are requesting in your appeal statement.

  • Provide documents that support your appeal.
    • This can be medical/mental health records, a letter from your healthcare provider, or any evidence of personal hardship (like a death certificate of a loved one).
    • An appeal request that does not include any documentation is unlikely to be approved.

  • Please submit your support documents in the space provided in the application.
  • Students do not appear before the committee.

  • Submission of an appeal does not guarantee a favorable outcome. Please understand that this is a serious process and should be treated as such.

  • For a late withdrawal appeal, provide the reason why you were unable to withdraw by the deadline to do so.

  • For a reinstatement appeal, it may be helpful to think of your statement in terms of “past, present, future”. Be sure to address the following three points, documenting all you can:
    • What were the “past” circumstances that contributed to your academic difficulties?
    • Have those circumstances changed? What is different in the “present”?
    • How do you plan to successfully complete your degree in the “future”? Provide a detailed plan explaining how you will remedy prior obstacles to success and complete your remaining degree requirements.

➤ What to Expect:

Once you submit your application, you’ll receive an email confirmation. The committee coordinator will review your application before the meeting. If more information is needed, you’ll be contacted via email. Check your email regularly to ensure your appeal is well-prepared.

You can expect to receive your appeal decision via email, usually 1-2 business days following the scheduled meeting.

For students approved to register for the upcoming semester or summer session, allow at least 5 to 7 days for the registration hold to be lifted by the Registrar’s Office after receipt of the appeals decision.


If you have questions about the appeals process, please email zicklin.gcas@baruch.cuny.edu.


If you have questions about your academic progress please contact your MBA or MS program advisors or Executive program academic directors.
